Germany have dominated their World Cup qualifying group so far but the Czech Republic do have past history of upsetting the odds against Die Mannschaft.
The underdogs have prevailed in two of their last four meetings, winning 2-1 at Euro 2004 in Lisbon and 3-0 in a Euro 2008 qualifier in Munich.
Looking at the Czech Republic vs Germany odds, we reckon 6/1 for another surprise in Prague on Friday is hard to resist.
A Look At Czech Republic’s Betting Odds
The Czech Republic got off to a stuttering start on the road to Russia 2018, losing 3-0 to Germany in Hamburg in between goalless draws at home to Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan.
However, experienced coach Karel Jarolim has turned things around, taking four points from two games against Norway and romping to a 6-0 success in San Marino.
Several key players are now established with leading clubs in Italy and Germany and the feeling is that this is a team on an upward curve.
Punters can get 31/20 for the hosts to avoid defeat here and that’s worth adding to our Czech Republic vs Germany betting predictions.
A Look At Germany’s Betting Odds
Joachim Low clearly has an embarrassment of riches after seeing Germany romp to six straight wins in this group, scoring 27 times and conceding just once, before ringing the changes for a Confederations Cup triumph.
The vast majority of those up-and-coming players who lifted the trophy in Russia with a 1-0 defeat of Chile have been retained for this contest.
Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka, RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner and Borussia Monchengladbach forward Lars Stindl are among those still engaged after scoring three goals each in that event.
However, switching from neutral territory to a hostile Eden Arena in Prague could test some of the younger prospects and the continued absence of Bayern Munich keeper Manuel Neuer is a concern.
The visitors may look good going forward but could be susceptible in defence, so 9/10 for both teams to score completes our Czech Republic vs Germany betting tips.
